Who We Are

Our Mission and Vision

Our Mission:

To serve homeless and at-risk youth by providing critically-needed resources which empower them to become self-sufficient.

Basically, we help youth in crisis get back on their feet in whatever ways we can. After meeting their immediate needs for food, shelter, clothing and safety, we create a support system which helps them flourish.

Our Vision:

We envision a community which understands and embraces its youth, creating an environment where youth homelessness no longer exists.

How We Operate:

We are committed - to our youth, to our cause, and to our supporters.

We are passionate - we strive to assist our youth in any way we can, because we feel compelled to make a difference.

We are a team - ending youth homelessness must be a joint effort. Our staff, partners and volunteers work toward our mission together.
